DAY CURRENT 1
--PROPOSITION
/(Julius i>. l'eel) '
The matter of day current for ]
Williamston is now the chief subject |
of conversation in the business cu - .
cles of Williamston, ami as this is
one ofmueh importance, the final de
cision for or against will haw a vital I
effect upon the Town.
" A large number of petitioners here,
representing the leading commercial
and professional life are very anxious
that with our magnificent new power
plant, we fully utilize same bv in
stalling day electric current for the
great benefit of our various shops,
factories, garages, private residences,
and a further inducement to outside
investors, many of whom would de
mand such facilities to reside or make
investment here. The petitioners in
this day current will be a paying
proposition, and as a matter of fact
it would be better to have day cur
rent and tarn off the electric lights
at midnight than to hive things as I
they are at present This is a popular
line of argument, and quite a reason
able one. It would mako for a great
ei and better Williamston, and at
the same time be a saving con
venience to a large number of people
here.
The Town Commissioners in their
argument state that they have studi
ed the matter carefully, going ex
tensively into the facts and figures,
and the udditionul revenue would not
be sufficient to cover additional ex
penses, —
The Commissioners as a whole state
they would like to see the day cur
rent installed, but with a depleted
treasury and the Town's liirtuice in a
critical condition, they cannot consci
entously add greater burdens to the
Taxpayers I*r the present at least.
The Commissioner*) report that even
now the collection charges fer night
current is quite a proposition, and
with additional charges to private
residences for the use of fans, wash
ing machines, electric irons and other
luxuries the matter of monthly col
lections would still l«: a greater col
lectiun proposition, and thai the vory
few factories, shops, otc. to install
day current is insignificant a* com
pared *Mth additional, cost.
The Commissioners are trying to
serve the best Interests of the Town,
an dthls without remuneration or
thanks to themselves, and already
several on the Hoard are threatening
to resign. Kven now w« are threaten
ed with Injunctions, und other court
procedures by past due creditors, and
to tuko any changes of adding a
further debit to the City Treasury Is
indeed -poor hueiness administration.
With Hi" coming of a reaction from
tlio pi*sei,« acute financial condition
of thin immediate section, and a settle-

PEANUT GROWERS
IN ENTHUSIASTIC
INEETINGTUESDAY
The Martin County members of the
Peanut CJrowers Exchange met at the
courthouse in Wiiliamston on Tuesday
at 3 P. M. Before the beginning tike
session Mr. Abram Roberson, Chair
man of the Cotton-Tobacco Organiza
tion was called to the chair and stat
ed, that a short session of the Cottoa-
Tobacco farmers would be held for
the purpose of affecting an organi
zation. Mr. Joseph Swain of the Cot
ton Growers Association of Raleigh
was introduced and made a rfiort but
interesting speech filled with much
valuable information relative to cotton
and then introduced the teams who
are to hold meetings during this week
ad next.
Mr. Harry Waldo then came to the
front and made a cracking good short
speech on the peanut organisation
and gave in detail the plan for elect
ing a county director. Mr. Waldo ap
pointed W. C. Manning secretary of
the meeting and Mr. J. A. Evaratt
of Palmyra and Mr. C. A. Askew of
Jamesville as tellers. Only two names
were put before the meeting, Dr. Jno.
D. Biggs and W. C. Manning. Tha
vote resultd in 29 vots cast for Dr.
: Biggs and 16 for Mr. Manning. Upon
motion by Mr. Manning tha election
of l)r. Biggs was made unanimous.
A motion was made and uimnimeualy
carried call ling a county masting to
be held at the Courthouse ib Wllliam
ston on Tuesday Oct. 20th at 2 P. M.
for the purpose of discussing the pea
nut situation.
Then Mr. Waldo was asked to finish
his speech on tha peanut situation,
which Va* did briefly, Among other
interesting things mentioned by Mr.
Waldo was that In the opinion of the
peanut authoritiea Wiiliamston and
Windsor take lass care of their pea
nut crops than any other communities
in the state and that they loaa larga
sums of money each year because of
such lack of care in handling their
peanut crop.
One othor very Interesting thing
that Mr. Waldo mentioned was tha
fact that in the opinion of peanut ex
perts the l>est peanuts in tha United
States are raised around the town of
Wiiliamston and that the soil and
climate of this immediata vicinity is
better fitted for raising paanuta than
I that of any other part of tha Uattad
( States.
The organisation of the p4hnnt a»-
[ sociationa means the passing of tha
peanut crop out of the poaw »f tha
' trusts. And though they say that It
requires both money and brains to
i It audit' the peanut and that the farm
ers havie neither, they will sea.
